Just out of curiosity: is JAMES server dead?

not really

the 2.x code base is now mature with active development continuing on
the more advanced 3.0 codebase (eg
http://www.ohloh.net/p/apache-james/analyses/latest)
I see lots of "refactorings", but not sure about actual functionality for the user itself in the *last year*. If I recall right, one year ago the most important functionalities( simple virtual hosting, and add hosts without restart) were already there.

- 2 years since the latest minor release of the server
- no visible intention what-so-ever to do a new release (from the community
perspective - in fact when new users ask about it, they're replied to do it
by themselves)

if the community wants a release of the server code base (whether 2.x
or 3.x) then people need to step up and start contributing towards
that goal
Just my point :) : "When users ask about a release, they're replied to do
do it by themselves" :) .

So let me get this straight: you are basically 12 gurus (or at least very advanced - expert developers):
http://james.apache.org/weare.html
And during/after 2 years, you need the "help" of simple *users* just to
get out a release?
Wow, just wow. If that's not an abandoned project, I don't know what it is :(.

as far as a 2.3.2 goes, shipping this shouldn't be a lot of work
This does not sound interesting at all. Being a minor-minor release, no new feature seems to be there.
